The Whole Library Handbook: Teen Services by Heather BoothMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a very thorough overview for teen services. This book is especially useful for those starting out in teen services or those needing to learn the current trends. The tips are varied and detailed with some overlap. Unfortunately the font was not easy to read.
Overall, I am more knowledgeable about teens and teen trends. Topics include makerspaces, teen development, programming, marketing, collection development, and more. I hope to apply all of this knowledge in a library setting very soon.
This is a great resource for any teen librarian to own. I checked out my copy from a library, but I could see referring to this book again and again. I took a lot of notes, especially on internet resources.
I would definitely recommend this book for use in library school and on the job. Just make sure to invest in reading glasses (depending on your visual acuity I may or may not be joking).
